Tyler Gause, left, Nick Smith, center, and Steve Bucklin make up the group snorb!, which is part of Local Music Appreciation night.

Local Music Appreciation Night at the Lafayette Brewing Company will change that this weekend. Steve Bucklin, a member of snorb!, said the idea came from Pat McClimans, another local music veteran.

McClimans, he said, has been performing for decades, and he cares a lot about the arts scene in town. This show is a way to bring that to the forefront. McClimans will open the show with J. Allen Spence as part of Cooter & Pat.

Bucklin said snorb! has been together for seven years. The band has a progressive acoustic sound, which, Bucklin said, makes it a little psychedelic.

Moonshine Mason and the Rot Gut Gang plays in more of a country style. Bucklin said the differences should make for an interesting show. Though they differ greatly, Bucklin said, both acts are rooted in an acoustic sound. The members of the bands also know one another and have been around for a long time.

The main message is getting people out to support their local acts and giving Lafayette a unique arts scene, Bucklin said. If it goes well, they might try to make the show a regular event.

"I'd love to see more and more supporting the arts," he said.

When: 9:30 p.m. today

Where: Lafayette Brewing Company, 622 Main St.

How much: $5 cover
